Dear Everyone going to Oxfrod this Saturday.

I've heard that Mattbee is unable to attend this meet so I have
offered to preserve it on film. This makes a good opertunity for me to
explain what a Newsgroup is to my German penfriend (though somehow AFP
might not be the best example.) If you should so wish to have a copy
of this video them bring along a blank video tape and I'll swag it for
the week and copy the evidence.

Don't you dare! _Any_ video footage of me goes out for public
consumption and I shall be forced to kill you. Don't worry though, I'm
good at avoiding cameras.

So you don't want these here negatives then, midear?

Kitten does have a point, though -- try and be at least a little discreet.
Otherwise certain people might decide to eat your camcorder, and it
wouldn't be very convenient if you had to wait around for 48 hours to get
it back. And you'd have to enlist the help of those nice people from HM
Customs & Excise as well..

Point taken. I had forgotten to add that I'm going to only film myself
(because I'm a vain sucker!) and those who wish to be filmed which
will hopefully be everyone since they're totally off their face by the
end of the evening.

This video *is* for those unable to attend (or was it avoid?) such as
Mattbee but it might be an idea to send a copy to our overseas friends
too.

Hmm, *tries not to look concerned*. So which ones would those be then?
If they're the ones involving bananas and golden syrop then I _could_ be
persuaded of the virtues of bribery...
